GDT - Bluejays vs White Sox. 2.10 pm.

[RealAccountant]

Looking at the standings.. Yanks are pulling away. Everyone else is .500 (Jays, Orioles), or below (Rays, Red Sox). No help in the wild card either due to L.A. and Minnesota's surge. Let's pray the Tigers and Mariners win tonight.

 

I'm not wasting my prayers. The way the Jays have been assembled they don't deserve to win. Good management should lead to victory. The best thing that can happen to this franchise is a complete collapse leading to handshakes for Beeston AA and Gibby

jays are creating some problems for themselves and other teams. suddenly the sellers are getting back into the race. before the Boston series it looked like they were sure sellers, but not now. more teams in it means it's going to cost more if AA wants/can do anything.

 

if we had swept the white sox they would have been sellers for sure. if we had swept Boston they would have been sellers for sure. Sox most likely still will be, but Boston are probably going to make moves if they can win a couple more series.

Just like most teams.

 

Not really. I'm trying to say that it has been more extreme version of what you're thinking.

This year doesn't hurt like last year

Chicago's going to be selling no matter what. They can't catch the Royals (11 GB), and the Twins/Angels are 6 games up on the White Sox. And the only seller getting back in the race is the Red Sox.. incompetence by us, the Rangers, Orioles and Rays have allowed the Twins and Angels, along with the Yankees and Royals to build up bigger leads in their races and wild card.

 

And our drop pales in comparison to the mess in Tampa.. since their peak at 40-30, the Rays have gone an unbelievably bad 3-15. Now that is ugly. (we're 10-14 since the 11-game streak ended)

as hard is it is for us with the way jays have sputtered, the 400 Tampa fans have been completely despaired.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

he said his shoulder isn't 100%. have to wonder if it is effecting his swing.

 

Hence why he should turn down his all star game appearance, being a team player ! Lol

[Dylan]

Damn.... we lost

God I might even like the Yankees for one day! Maybe a week! If they took or would take Reyes from us now.

can't argue with that.

I recorded the game and just finished watching it (on fast forward since I knew the final score). It was another disappointing loss. The Chicago pitcher was good.

 

Ryan Goins showed so much confidence in his defensive ability at SS. I could see that he really took charge at SS. I take back what I said about Jose Reyes playing 5 games a week and Ryan Goins playing 1 - 2 games a week to give Reyes a break, Ryan Goins should play almost everyday at SS. That would give the whole team a boost defensively. Even Goins' swing has seemed better the last couple of games that he has played (he has been hitting line drives instead of popups, which would result in a much higher BABIP).

 

I am going to stop apologizing for being a fan of Ryan Goins; he is the real deal at SS. I wish the Blue Jays would trade Reyes for either another outfielder or, even better, a starting pitcher.

$17MM/yr through 2017 and a $4MM buyout for 2018. Jose Reyes is not trade-able.

I thought it was 22mil a year?

Sorry you're right, I was looking at the AAV of the contract. $17 would be more tradeable. f***, that's ugly.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

It is ugly that's why you eat 8-12 and take the savings errrr Money and Run!

 

Or trade him to the Yankees and for hot dogs with mustard next time your in town! Lol

Nice stadium KC has. Many cities wish they had this (yes, even Toronto).
